We work with companies in the United Kingdom remotely: there is no Dardo office in the United Kingdom. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. London is 5 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in London shares 2–3 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá. A project starts with a brief through the [contact form](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/?service=wordpress-maintenance), by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name. Published starting prices: WordPress maintenance plan from USD 79 a month. Anything beyond that is quoted by scope, with no minimum budget. [Pricing](https://dardo.studio/en/pricing/) explains how a quote is built. ## What a WordPress maintenance plan covers A WordPress plan covers the parts of the site that WordPress itself leaves to you: the plugins and theme, the PHP version, the backups and the checks that catch a failure before visitors do. The proposal lists which of these are in your plan and how often each one runs. - Core, plugin and theme updates, tested on a staging copy before production, with a rollback point - PHP upgrades to a supported version, tested first on staging - A plugin review: unused and abandoned plugins removed or replaced - Security advisories tracked for every plugin and theme the site runs - Off-site backups of the database and files, with scheduled restore tests - Uptime, SSL certificate, domain and form monitoring with alerts - A monthly report with updates, incidents, Core Web Vitals and the work done The [WordPress maintenance service page](https://dardo.studio/en/services/wordpress-maintenance/) has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask. ## How fast websites in the United Kingdom are on phones In October 2026, 68.1% of the websites in the United Kingdom measured by Chrome's user experience report passed all three Core Web Vitals on phones, according to the [HTTP Archive](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing). The platform behind a site moves that number: __How fast websites in the United Kingdom are on phones__ | Platform | Sites measured | Pass on phones | | ----------- | -------------- | -------------- | | Wix | 10,901 | 90.9% | | Squarespace | 7,460 | 85.2% | | Shopify | 39,489 | 84.4% | | Webflow | 3,792 | 80.1% | | Framer | 593 | 77.6% | | WordPress | 107,418 | 67.2% | Speed comes from how a site is built more than from the platform, and Google uses Core Web Vitals in search. The [platform speed report](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/website-platform-speed-report/) has the same numbers for other countries. ## Work you can check Projects from 2026, each with its published result: - [Janus Observatory](https://dardo.studio/en/work/janus-observatory/) (Science / Interactive storytelling, 2026). −47.9% 3D models: 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB. - [Hyper](https://dardo.studio/en/work/hyper/) (AI / Customer intelligence, 2026).

These are the projects we can show, with their numbers. ## Questions before you choose **Does Dardo have an office in the United Kingdom?** No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in the United Kingdom remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish. **How much does WordPress maintenance cost with Dardo?** WordPress maintenance plan from USD 79 a month. Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. **How much does WordPress website maintenance cost?** Plans start at USD 79 a month for Monitor: monitoring, urgent security updates, backups with a restore test and a short monthly report. Tested scheduled updates, security scans and change hours come in the higher tiers. The price for a WordPress site is confirmed after the initial audit, because the number of plugins, WooCommerce and the hosting change the work. **Do you maintain WooCommerce stores?** Yes. A WooCommerce store gets the same plan plus checks that matter for selling: plugin and extension updates tested against a test order on staging, database updates run after WooCommerce updates, and payment and email notifications confirmed after each release. Stores usually need the Maintain tier or higher. ## Sources & further reading Sources behind this page, with further detail from the original publishers. - [HTTP Archive technology report (Core Web Vitals by platform and country)](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing) · httparchive.org - [WordPress.org: Requirements](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) · wordpress.org - [PHP: Supported versions](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) · php.net - [WordPress Developer Resources: Upgrading WordPress and automatic background updates](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/upgrade/upgrading/) · developer.wordpress.org [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [WordPress care by city](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance/) · United Kingdom ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
